Happy Sunday to everyone! . I did this drawing (already) in July, but it resonates everyday I need to tune in... check how I’m doing... Sundays are a good time for that and my bathtub is always there to help me rest, restore, imagine, project... Without any doubt, my favorite place at home. . Which one is yours? . #sundaymood ☀️ #sundayselfcare #selfcare #selfportrait #drawing #ink #inkdrawing #watercolor #theartistsway #bathtub #bathtubtime #relaxation #relaxationtime #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CFW5gyNKpC9/?igshid=hawa76wg6ahp

The first sketches of this character were a bit scary... But in the middle of the terror party, emerged a small and light figure, that had still no arms but all the other attributes that I was looking for. Character research is so much fun! -^^- . . . . #characterdesign #pencildrawing #pencilart #characterconcept #scifi #comicart #drawing #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CEd97D_KHbv/?igshid=ouwrt129use8

More character research... Kinda difficult to draw a cartoon barn owl and make it look cute or expressive... . . . . . #characterdesign #character #cartoon #drawing #pencildrawing #comicartist #barnowl #scifi #scienceforkids #sketchbook #characterdrawing #sketch #spacegirl #creativity https://www.instagram.com/p/CDvsHPJKqh1/?igshid=1p0oswfph29hh

A drawing I did back in June... Floating away still seems like a good plan for summer 2020 in Berlin. . . . . . #ink #drawing #sketchbook #pentelbrushpen #carpincho #berlin #landwehrkanal #schlauchboot #summertime #summer2020 #portraitdrawing (en Landwehrkanal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZyNfBq-95/?igshid=1gzhwhwwrpd3e

Day 14 of the new year 2020. So far, all is good. We have entered the new year with curiosity and excitement to discover what awaits for us in its jungle and determination to learn and grow within this time. Happy new year 2020 to all my friends! ❤️ . . . Even if it’s day 14, I really wanted this drawing to be the first one of 2020. . . . #drawing #drawingoftheday #sketch #cartoon #newyear2020 #exploring #learning #nikonf3 #jungle #unknown #curiosity #explorer #lifeisbeautiful #vegetation #pencildrawing (en Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TWi6YqYuY/?igshid=1bhx673un6dcc

Another commissioned piece for a birthday present. Y sí, llamadme ñoña, pero me encanta dibujar a gente sonriente, gente-perr@ sonrientes, corazones y plantas.

Long time, no post. After spending Easter mostly in bed for unromantic reasons -just a stupid cold- I am sharing this drawing, that I got commisioned last week. Lucky me, I could pour all my longing for sun, good food and good company into this drawing as a way to sublimate my cold. Thanks to my friend mr. Fox for his trust and support! 🙏💚 . . . #commissionedart #illustration #drawing #pencil #watercolor #presents #birthday #picnic #sweetgift #draweveryday #characterdesign #tortilladepatatas o #tortilladepatatasconcebolla #rioja o #riberadelduero #iwantitall #care #commissionedwork (en Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnmZ2BglTr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sod3s1ctmdz4

EINKOMMENSTEUERERKLÄRUNG For the non German speakers, this "friendly" word means something like "income tax declaration" (please English native speakers, verify!) . I guess bureaucracy always feels like a pain in the ass, no matter in which country you live, but doing your taxes in Germany adds another level of drama to your existence. No matter how much German I learn, once in a while I get this letters from the German administration where I literally understand nothing. Gugu-dada! That happened to me last year while doing my taxes. The moment you have just deciphered one letter, the next one with more good news is coming. To my delight and wellbeing, I have to admit that as unintelligible and scary as those letters were, people at the finanzamt (tax office) were very friendly and helpful. Nevertheless, doing my taxes last year felt like fighting the hydra and its many heads. Good thing is, we have learned the lesson: This year the taxes are already done ahead of the deadline, I have time to post this drawing -that I made last year in the middle of the struggle- and draw new stuff ❤ PS: yes, there is a misspelling in the taxes-monster 😉 I could have photoshoped it, but I like to see the mistake as a reminder of the learning process that the taxes of 2017 meant. . . . Wishing everybody a wonderful week!! 💚 . #einkommensteuererklärung #steuererklärung #finanzamt #bureaucracy #taxes #whenyouliveinberlin #artistsofinstagram #berlin #mondayblues #sketchoftheday #ink #drawing #cartoon #realwomen #wonderwoman #surviving #struggle (en Schöneberg, Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcJ2xtBuvG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uov8u326uxk1
